Summary: This #1 selling non-majors microbiology textbook is praised for its straightforward presentation of complex topics, careful balance of concepts and applications, and proven art that teaches. In its Tenth Edition, Tortora/Funke/Case responds to the #1 challenge of the microbiology course: teaching a wide range of student levels, while still addressing student under-preparedness. The Tenth Edition meets students at the...ir respective skill levels. First, the book signals core microbiology content to students with the new and highly visual Foundation Figures that students need to understand before moving forward in a chapter. Second, the book gives students frequent opportunities for self-assessment with the new Check Your Understanding questions that correspond by number to the chapter Learning Objectives. Then, a new "visual learning" orientation includes: an increased number of the popular Diseases in Focus boxes, newly illustrated end-of-chapter Study Outlines that provide students with visual cues to remind them of chapter content, and new end-of-chapter Draw It questions.The all-new art program is contemporary without compromising Tortora/Funke/Cases hallmark reputation for precision and clarity. Content revisions include substantially revised immunity chapters and an increased emphasis on antimicrobial resistance, bioterrorism, and biofilms. The new Get Ready for Microbiology workbook and online practice and assessment materials help students prepare for the course.

The way some concepts that were taught was a little confusing and difficult to read for me. Since I am a visual and hands on learner, at some points, I found myself going online and finding exactly what was being said in the book, but the material was broken down and simplified.

I didn't think microbiology would be useful going into my nursing classes, however, once I started pharmacology, I was able to refer back to this book when learning about the different types of bacteria, how and where they grow, and what successfully rids them from the body and the environment. I learned a great amount about working with antibiotics and the infectious process through this textbook.

Thoroughly reviewed the concepts of microbiology Without this book my college microbiology class would have been impossible. It goes through the microorganism environment discussing topics thoroughly. But alas a good book doesn't always help if you don't have a good teacher.

this is a great book. this book breaks down more of the information than any other books that ive read on the same subject matter. this book is easy to understand and this book is also very useful. the material in the book is straight forward and nothing really has to be broken down. the definitions are straightforward also. overall i like the book and learn more from the book by reading it. The chapter by chapter revisions are also better than other books ive read.

the most useful thing ive learned from this book is scanned probe microscopy, functional anatomy of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells,also comparing of the two, ive learned about microbes and how theyre useful as well as harmful. ive also learned about culture media and complex media , the study guidelines at the end of the chapters also was useful.
